Girls Group Similar to Girl Scouts?

Hello Mamas! I am about top pull my hair out on this one...I am looking for the name of a girls group/troop that is similar to Girl Scouts and Camp Fire Girls. I received a flyer about this group (the one I cannot remember) at the Kids Expo over a year ago. I threw out the flyer because I bookmarked their website on my computer. Needless to say, that computer crashed and we lost all our data. All I can remember was that they were adventure oriented (something like adventure girls or explorer girls - which are not the names since I have checked already). Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

There is a coed group called Explorers that is for teens and I think it is based on the boy scout model. I had a great experience with Girl Scouts myself (20+ years).

S.P. answers from Minneapolis on September 03, 2010

I just did a Google search and came up with:
Frontier Girls - a conservative girls group
Spiral Scouts - a scouting group for children of minority faiths
American Heritage Girls - Christian centered scouting
Campfire Scouts - used to be girls only, but now open to both genders

There are also volunteer organizations for kids -
Youth Service Corps of America
Kiwanis organization

If none of those sound familiar, you may want to call your local business bureau and see if they know of anything.
Good luck!
